Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), 212 listed as endangered or threatened by the State of Florida, 191 tracked by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory, 52 candidates for federal listing, and 7 categorized by the state as commercially exploited. Since the conservation of threatened and endangered plant species depends largely on effective management of protected populations, the occurrence of such plants on publicly or privately owned conservation lands, coupled with institutional knowledge of their location and extent is essential.

Scale insects (Hemiptera: Forest entomology Coccoidea) are particularly well-suited to avoid detection, invade new habitats, and escape control efforts. In Fiorinia externa countries that celebrate Christmas, the annual movement of Christmas trees has in at least one instance been Elongate hemlock scale associated with the invasion of a scale insect pest and subsequent devastation of indigenous forest species. In the Conifers eastern United States, except for Florida, Fiorinia externa is a well-established exotic scale insect pest of keystone Fraser fir hemlock species and Fraser fir Christmas trees. Annually, several hundred thousand Fraser firs are harvested and shipped into Florida, USA for sale to homeowners and businesses. There is concern that this insect may disperse from Christmas trees and establish on Florida conifers of economic and conservation interest. Here, we investigate the invasive potential of F.

Box B, Frederick, MD, 21702 Abstract: This paper represents a preliminary study of the botany, natural history and taxane chemistry of the Mexican yew, Taxus globosa Schltdl. Taxonomic history, morphological comparison to other North American species and ecological habitat are discussed. Chemical study involved leaf and twig material from forty-nine plants from three localities in Mexico. Levels of taxol, cephalomannine and baccatin III were determined by HPLC analysis. Intrapopulational variation was found to be very high while mean taxane levels for each of the three populations were very similar. The average percentage of taxol in leaves of T. globosa is higher than in all other species of Taxus (0.0121% dry wt.). Key words: Taxus globosa, Mexican yew, taxane composition, taxonomy, conservation, economic botany.

  • The Reproductive Ecology of the Pacific Yew (Taxus Brevifolia Nutt.) Under a Range of Overstory Conditions in Western Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Stephen P. DiFazio for the degree of Master of Science in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on May 5, 1995. Title: The Reproductive Ecology of Pacific Yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) Under a Range of Overstory Conditions in Western Oregon Abstract approved:Redacted for Privacy The influence of overstory openness on the reproductive ecology of Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) was investigated on 4 sites in western Oregon over 2 years. The breeding system of T. brevifolia was found to deviate from pure dioecy under a broad range of canopy and site conditions. Production of female strobili was observed on 17 of 58 predominantly male trees, while no male strobili were observed on 57 female trees. Genet sex ratios were significantly biased in only 1 population, where male genets outnumbered female genets by almost 2 to 1. Mean floral sex ratios were significantly male-biased in all populations and ranged from 5 to 12. Pollen-ovule ratios were in excess of 1,000,000 for all populations. In contrast, reproductive effort based on masses of mature strobili were female-biased by a factor of 1.1 to 5 for all sites. Seed masses also varied inversely with elevation. Pollination phenology varied with elevation and overstory openness. Pollen first began shedding at the lowest sites, and earlier in trees under open conditions than in trees with overstory canopy cover. The duration of pollen shedding varied from 3 to 20 days, and tended to be more protracted at lower sites and under open canopy conditions. Most of the variation in reproductive potential, as indexed by strobilus production, occurred within sites and within trees.

Vol. 4, No. 3-1, 2015, pp. 80-88. doi: 10.11648/j.earth.s.2015040301.13 Abstract: After prospecting the vast majority of the populations and consulting herbarium collections and literature, data of distribution and demography of the Mexican populations of Taxus globosa is presented. Besides, the global distribution as the status of the species and its ecology is reviewed. Some populations are well preserved, however most of the prospected populations are under risk of anthropogenic disturbances. No real direct use of the species is performed, but other activities put pressure in their very small populations. With the data compiled, a preliminary diagnosis of its natural state is exposed towards the management and conservation of the species.
